Well, I don't like to be mean to the youngsters and I know that tweets are just for fun and relaxation and directed at friends (but if they're public, they're public and people should remember that) but, having flicked through, you've got Lana Rush saying she's off to Serbia and really not looking forward to it (what sort of attitude is that before a competition?), Jess Ren saying she can't wait to be home and didn't want to be in Egypt this week (not quite so categoric but all the same . . ) and a few other slightly grumbly ones.
If I were a potential sponsor, they'd have blown it with me . . .
Lana's mood won't have improved after an unsurprising heavy defeat. Maia had a good win over a higher ranked opponent, but is up against it as she tackles the top seed Ploskina, who has won a G1 this year and is ranked in the top 20 (surprisingly choosing this over the US Open)

Jaqueline Adina Cristian (ROU) d. (7) Lana Rush (GBR) 6-2 6-2
Third G2 final this year and third success for Lana, whose ranking just outside the top 100 is largely due to her doubles prowess - if she could replicate her doubles form on the singles court she would be well inside the top 100
